| About Lanquais |
|
| Lanquais’ history, its lake, its castles and concerts, its festivals, heritage and wooded countryside are some of the many reasons for visiting. The village of 520 people is tucked snugly into a valley in the «Périgord Pourpre» near the «Périgord Noir». Situated to the south of Périgueux on the Bergerac-Sarlat route, LANQUAIS, a village on the List of Historical Monuments, benefits from its proximity to Bergerac (18km) and Lalinde (7km) while retaining its rural character. |
|
| Over the course of your stay you will doubtless meet the people of Lanquais, Tools found in the area indicate that it has been inhabited by man since prehistoric times. Fragments of pottery, bricks and Roman coins stamped with the effigies of early emperors have also been discovered. |
|
| A visit of the renowned Château de Lanquais, built on the ruins of an ancient « castellum » and residence of the Bishops of Périgueux and numerous Seigneurs, cannot fail to transport you into the past. |
|
|
| At the foot of the château stands an impressive tithe barn which has been converted into a festival and concert hall and, just nearby, your attention will doubtless be drawn by the sound of laughter as children play on the sandy beach of the lake created in 1986. |
|
|
| Player baskets & Roses line the footpaths around the villages, While country roads snake through forests of pine, chestnut, oak and hazelnut. |
|
| Nature and architecture, festivities and relaxation combine to create a wonderful holiday spot and LANQUAIS and its inhabitants already offer you their heartfelt welcome. |
